Worker Injuries Are a System Failure

Worker injuries do not happen randomly. They happen where systems fail to interrupt hazards.

When soil, moisture, and fine grit enter a facility, they follow predictable pathways — entryways, thresholds, and transition zones. If nothing captures or interrupts those contaminants, friction drops and slip-and-fall risks rise.

This domain connects facility entry design, soil control, and matting science to real-world worker safety — revealing how preventable injuries often originate at building transitions.

This domain explores:

• Soil and moisture migration at entryways
• Transition zone hazard formation
• Slip-and-fall risk mechanisms
• Engineered matting as a preventative safety control
